Recommended Action / Hygiene Plan for students taking examinations Kempten University of Applied Sciences 0 Preface This Recommended Action / Hygiene Plan applies to students taking written and oral examinations. The Hygiene Plan 1 for Kempten University of Applied Sciences V2.2. dated 26 October 2020 remains generally applicable. 1 Access to the university / Taking examinations Access to university premises remains prohibited during the examination period for anyone testing positive for 2 COVID‑19 or showing symptoms of the disease. Anyone who has suffered COVID‑19 or who has been instructed to self-isolate or quarantine by the responsible health 3 authority or according to the applicable Bavarian Regulation on Infection Prevention can enter the university’s premises once again after recovery or the prescribed period has expired, without needing to present further evidence. If you test positive for COVID‑19 within 14 days of taking an examination, you must report this immediately to 4 Academic Registry using the email address covid19@hs-kempten.de, citing the examinations that you have taken on site.

Recommended Action / Hygiene Plan for students taking examinations
Kempten University of Applied Sciences
2 General basic principles
2.1 D-H-M rules
Written and oral examinations are being conducted on the basis of “D-H-M” rules. 5
A Distance 6
H Hygiene
M Masks (covering nose and mouth)
2.1.1 Distance (minimum distance)
Across the entire site and throughout all buildings at Kempten University of Applied Sciences, people must stay at 7
least 1.5 metres apart from one another.
2.1.2 Hygiene
The necessary hygiene measures include: 8
a) Washing hands regularly and avoiding hands touching the face
b) Coughing or sneezing into a tissue or the crook of the elbow
c) Disinfecting desks and chairs (backs and seats)
a) Washing hands regularly
Regular handwashing is one of the most effective protective measures. Studies have shown that washing hands 9
correctly and thoroughly is more effective than using hand sanitisers.
b) Coughing and sneezing
Keeping your distance also applies here. Cough and/or sneeze into a tissue, or place your mouth and nose into the 10
crook of your elbow.
c) Regular ventilation / air circulation
To ensure air circulates adequately during the examination, besides the air conditioning systems in buildings being 11
set to maximum throughput, a blast of fresh air is to be introduced for 4-5 minutes at least every 45 minutes by
opening the windows and entrance doors.
Mobile air filtering systems can be used to improve the air quality, but this does not replace regular blasts of fresh 12
air.
d) Disinfection measures 13
See the section on Examination procedure – Disinfection procedure.
2.1.3 Respiratory protection / masks (covering nose and mouth)
It is obligatory to wear a mask covering your nose and mouth (referred to as “community masks”) inside buildings. 14
The obligation to wear a mask covering your nose and mouth across the entire campus site is stipulated in the 15
Hygiene Plan that remains in force at Kempten University of Applied Sciences.
In indoor areas at the university where there is movement / corridors and in examination rooms, it is obligatory
to wear masks certified to at least the standard stipulated in DIN EN 14683. It is also possible to wear an FFP2-
grade mask, or higher protection level, but without a vent. It is not sufficient to wear a general mask covering
your mouth and nose in these areas!

examination will be extended by the time required to introduce blasts of fresh air, e.g. for an examination set to last
90 minutes, during which 5 minutes is spent introducing fresh air after 45 minutes have passed, the total time allowed
for the examination will be 95 minutes. Due to the cold weather conditions, students are instructed to wear appropriate
clothing during ventilation.
No questions are permitted during the examination. Any questions about organisational matters must be asked before
the written examination commences.
Students may only leave the room during an examination in important exceptional cases (e.g. urgent visit to the toilet). 38
Students are not permitted to hand in their examination scripts and hence exit the examination prematurely. 39
